Works with correct namespaces as well for XHTML+SVG, but with some
interesting surprises for HTML+SVG and XHTML+SVG:
a) Even if img gets a width property with CSS and attributeType is set to CSS,
this is not animated.
b) The image seems to move a little bit to the right within the animation of
the width.
Other things seem to be understandable/consistent:
a) opacity as XML attribute is ok to animate for SVG, but not for (X)HTML.
b) animation of a width property for the image is not ok to have a visible
effect.
Therefore the rules, what is animatable or not and what is the resulting
animation effect with firefox is not completely predictable for authors - and
to add an SVG container to be able to animate some properties applicable
for (X)HTML is surprising as well - does it work with a SMIL container
too? ;o)
